| Yes, the man himself turns 50 today, March 21st 2009, so I made a little tribute. This video contains his 50 best compositions throughout the years, in my opinion. 50 tunes in one video is a little overkill, but I wanted it to be one video and not ten. All the songs are already on Youtube anyway, so just do a quick search if you want to hear the full versions. Making a top 10 was damn hard, but a top 50 was even worse. Seriously, it was pure torture. First of all, choosing "only" 50 tracks isn't easy when he's made so many great ones. After going through everything once, I had almost 60 tracks that just had to be on the list, and I must have spent at least an hour deciding which ones to get rid off. Then there's the order. With 50 songs of so many different styles and so high quality, it's impossible to make an actual top 50, where the next song is always better than the last one. I think it's safe to say that the first ten are pretty much in order, but then you can divide the rest into groups of five and the tunes within these groups will have no specific order. Of course, it's not completely random either. For example, the first song is always better than the last. Those who saw my Top 10 Battle Tunes will probably notice a few differences. Yes, it's been less than two months and I already disagree with my past self. That's not all, though. Since everything is allowed this time, I can also use The Black Mages versions, and these are some times better than the originals ... |
